Other Ways of Knowing
Jupiter (knowledge) in the most imaginative sign of the zodiac activates our right brain. The inner artist and mystic is inspired to seek, learn and grow. This kind of learning is done through symbols, dreams, visuals and music. We may be mystified by these understandings, and shown that there's more to life than meets the eye. Jupiter is about the edges of the future, and in Pisces, we experience life as a dream.

Jupiter (expansion) in Pisces is divine inspiration. You may experience startling visitations from the muse, which can revive any latent creative impulses. And the cultural landscape may be tinged more with the spiritual, and uplifting themes of healing, redemption and connection to spirit. There's a greater draw to mystical themes, music and movies that convey compassion, forgiveness and the unity of humanity.

Spiritual Questing

Pisces is the 12th sign of the Zodiac, and carries within it the expression of them all. That's why Pisces seems to shift shape, and are drawn to wearing personas. There's an instinct for slipping in the skin of all aspects of humanity. With Jupiter in Pisces, you may explore all the many facets of your own nature. And by expanding your vision of who you are, you gain a fuller understanding.

This questing and exploring -- associated with Jupiter -- could involve healing from past lives, such as finding forgiveness for past victimization or being the victimizer. Pisces is a sign able to see how we play out karmic roles. The kind of growth possible, with Jupiter in Pisces, can heal not just wounds from this life, but ancestral or past life pain, as well.


Healing

Jupiter in Pisces extends its reach into all directions, with no human experience beyond redemption. It's the sign most likely to believe in the rehabilitation of criminals, and reach out to the victim, as well. Because of this instinct for grace, there's the potential to heal rejected or debased aspects of the self. It's a time when a felt connection to spirit can help you overcome any trauma, confusion, or loss.

We may see more drawn to sound and visual healing techniques, as well as energy work of all kinds. Art, music and drama therapy become more prominent. The connection between prayer, the power of the heart and global healing is sure to get more attention.

Wow this sounds like my kind of astrological influence

All those themes you have described have happened for me lately especially the blurring of reality with the spiritual. I have been haunted by ocean-themed inspiration for over a week now. And the healing of past lives - well let's just say that I have resurrected some old stories of mine and rewritten them to better suit my purpose. I've been using my creativity to foster new beginnings and this astrological forecast seems supportive of all that I am doing. Good to know - thanks Solane!
